    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in large mixer bowl of electric mixer at medium speed until cream cheese is smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add pumpkin, spices and salt. Mix until well combined.

    2. Spread 3/4 cup pumpkin mixture evenly into crust. Pour about 1/3 cup cranberry sauce on top of pumpkin mixture. Pour remaining pumpkin mixture into crust and top with remaining cranberry sauce. Swirl cranberry sauce into pumpkin mixture with knife, being careful not to scrape crust.
